Bottomish.

Bottomish yourself.

i did . . . . . . . .

I made a frame in uni. Welding was gash but it was hella short and super strong



I love welding and grinding and cutting etc it's a good time

not sure if i understand but i made some stuff for my bike once. a bash guard- 6mm thick alu, a brake booster (stops the brake bosses splaying out when applying brakes, hence better brakes)-5mm alu, and a rubbish chain device. basically a sheet steel circle bigger than the big chainring which stopped the chain bouncing off the outside when getting rugged. oh and i modded some normal canti levers to work with v brakes. not everyoe will know that normal canti levers and v brakes arent compatible and vice versa, the cable pull is vastly different so useing one with the other results in shite brakes. not rocket science but i was only 16 or so.

how do we make a new group for this shizzle.

nice frame.you ride flatland?

you are a fix punk.

I used to mess about a bit with it, but rode pretty much street only. The frame was a sort of street/flat cross over a la SBC Shaman.

it's in my attic at home, made out of T45 baby!

haha T45 drawn and tempered. Sweet.

I made a brake cable fit a cross top lever to work as a brake lever.

Am I fixpunk?

im sure steam power has to be involved somewhere?

Fixed stuff

Made a chain tug.

Changed dropouts.


BMX Stuff

Canti brake plate before they where even out (I'm a pioneer!)

Replaced a broken dropout

Pegs

Chain tugs

Lay back seat post.

replacement axle

hollow stem bolt.

Can't do the stuff I want to do now as I live in a one bed flat.

fuck yeah.



though i bow to thebrick's prowess.




@chugit, bring it out, dust it offand ride it.

I carved a Colnago track bike out of cheese.

Don't some of it was dodge as fuck but it kind of worked enough to work if you get what I mean.

Brake plate version 2 worked out the best, looked ugly but worked really well, still have it on the front of my old BMX.

Respect to chugit's BMX frame

I quite like your bars brucy are you going to add a cross brace?

FIXPUNK me a brain will you please...

I made this, from scratch:



Story here

really? what kind of cheese?

dont know yet gonna see what they look like as they are.

Fuck Yeah!

FIXPUNK.

that is so so funny, i love it. 'lol's coming out of my arse here.

I once made a rear mudguard for my Apollo out of papier mache, does that count?

Hell Yeah!

How about, converting a QR seat clamp to work on my frame by removing the clamp part and just using the skewer? :)

you too!

I am so made up right now ;)

Fuck this, I made a langster, from scratch, and I get nothing!!

did you cut weld and alter?

fuck yes I did, I cut the plastic holder that secured the langster to the peg.

i made a sweet seatpost shim last weekend.

i'm about to make a mum joke!

better than one flat bed, methinks. (sorry, couldn't resist...)

btw, sorry about the rack - i didn't ever hear from you, but guess you got it sorted somehow.

ok i made.
chain device (looks like a dmr speed guide with a guide at the top and roller at the bottom)
chain tensioner (rear mounted)
a collection of bash guards (trails and bigger)
i converted magura only forks to run v brakes
a wooden mud guard
an adjustable brake lever (for different pull ratios)
mini bar ends
i converted a open race hub to sealed bearing.s

and one day i will make my own bike.
